Bug ID: 85110
Summary: Missing underlines for some bad arguments
Product: gcc
Version: 8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: diagnostic
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: dmalcolm at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
In gcc 8, the C++ FE underlines some bogus arguments to function calls, as of
r256448.
However we're missing some. Given:
void callee (int one, const char **two, int three);
void
caller (const char *fmt)
{
callee (1, fmt, 3);
}
We emit:
$ g++ test.cc
test.cc: In function ‘void caller(const char*)’:
test.cc:6:20: error: cannot convert ‘const char*’ to ‘const char**’ for
argument ‘2’ to ‘void callee(int, const char**, int)’
callee (1, fmt, 3);
^
We ought to underline the problematic argument, and, ideally the decl.
I have a patch for this.
